Richland One’s health sciences magnet program at C.A. Johnson High School now has a new tool to help students become emergency medical technicians (EMTs).

Prisma Health donated a decommissioned ambulance to support the health sciences magnet program and help kickstart its EMT career pathway. The presentation was made during a news conference March 26.

“With the addition of the EMT pathway, students have the opportunity to become work ready and career ready. That’s what we want for our students – to be able to leave C.A. Johnson more prepared to enter the workforce,” said Sheron Capers, health sciences magnet coordinator at C.A. Johnson.

The ambulance is a 2016 Ford F450 Type 1 that was used specifically for Prisma Health’s Oconee 911 division. It boasts a meticulously designed patient compartment, spacious enough to accommodate multiple EMS clinicians.
